@zapbuzz to be air it dosent really matter where the coin originated my main concern is the value and lack of features. i just find it hard to believe that a coin that is so primitive and has no real benefits over burst can be worth so much. i know that burst has had problems but to me it seems to be undoubtably a far superior coin. to me it seems that the devs haven’t put any effort into rivalling burst. which makes me think the whole thing could just be a big pump and dump. I hope this isn’t the case i wouldn’t want to see our miners being ripped off but i must say i am very dubious. i certainly wont be trusting my measly 45TB to the BTCHD network anytime soon. i don’t have anything against a new POC coin if anything i think it would probably be good for burst to have some competition but BTCHD to me dosent seem to be competition just a con. i hope that i am wrong and would welcome anyone who knows better to put me straight but until i see some genuine value in BTCHD i will steer clear. however i would like to hear other peoples thoughts since i haven’t heard much about it?

am i the only one who thinks that btchd could just be a scam designed to make the devs rich? from what i see the pre-mine comes to 15%. BTCHD is in scarse supply and is very valuable therfore BTCHD devs are most likley very rich by now. the capacity required to mine just one btchd is ridiculous and their wallet is pretty featureless so im not sure where the value comes from. i cant help thinking that this is somthing the chinese have come up with to get rich quick and have probably cashed out by now leaving the coin to die. i really hope that i am wrong but the whole thing just seems ridiculous. perhaps someone who knows better tell me different?

@zohtar agreed. i think instead of crying over POCC leaving we should be looking forward to new and better things from the new devs that will surely come. i dont think the negativity encourages new devs to come. our energy should be put into creating a healthy enviroment for new devs to work.

i upgraded a few days ago without thinking about recent events, it seems stable but I guess if they wouldn't make it that obvious if they were going to do something sinister. I would like to think they wouldn't sabotage the wallet but I am undecided on weather or not to roll back to 2.2.6. I wonder if anyone who understands the code has taken a look? I guess that's the only way we can know for sure.

@zohtar i really hope it has not come to this. I really don't have a problem with the new coin except how the POCC have had us mining them for their profit for days. If they had been honest about the whole thing I would probably of gladly given up half my 40TB to the new coin knowing I was getting awarded for my efforts. just like most of us here I don't mine or invest in burst expecting to get rich quick I just have a lot of faith in the coin and expect it to thrive in coming months/years but then the developer's f off and create a new coin, fine but the way they have stolen our mining resources is beyond a joke. of course I am in this to make money at the end of the day but I have been mining burst since 2016 off and on I have seen the coin come a long way I refuse to believe that this can happen and will fight for burst I have about £200 in burst not counting what I have invested in hdds I will happily lose my investment if necessary but I also have friends who I have advised to invest in burst, do I advise them to pull out now? @Zohtar I would urge you not to pull out yet the more people do the stronger they get which will just devalue the coin we all worked so hard for if we all pull together I believe we can fix this. we were around before POCC and we will be around long after their coin is dead and buried

i was about ask if anyone knew why I was minining very old blocks but now it makes sense they are new blocks from a new coin. so to me it looks like the pocc who have put so much effort into developing this coin only have one thing in mind which is using us as monkeys to test out their new POC coin. I believe they should be able to create a new coin if they want but using burst miners to start it without their consent and without repaying them for their mining efforts is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately. I and I'm assuming plenty of others have been mining this new coin for some time and my main concern is my loss of burst earnings due to my miner not being able to complete before a block from this new coin is submitted. And second if I'm mining this other coin I WANT MY EARNINGS I didn't pay hundereds of pounds on hard drives to make POCC rich if I'm minining your new coin I want to keep the earnings if the POCC decides to be honest about all this and apologise and let the miners keep the coins from their mining then maybe I see a future for it. and maybe burst and this new coin can live in harmony and I may even devote some of my capacity to it. but until then goodbye POCC pools. I guess the problem is that "as far as I'm aware" POCC are the ones working on the upates for the wallets so I assume there is nobody to fork us out of this? I think it maybe a good time for someone to step up and update the wallet also I think that we should all leave the POCC pools and I'm sorry to say this but we should probably make it as hard as possible for them to keep operating

@hanftychoon alot happend since 2016 last year the network got attacked and was almost crippled but everything is more stabelised now but that's up to you to research everyone has their own opinion burst is looking good if i was you i would lrocede with caution.

im not sure that its over yet I've been keeping my eye on the network and from what I'm looking at there still seems to be the odd fork but the network is recovering within a couple of blocks or so. I'm no expert in the workings of the network but I've found that if you check your pools home page and the best deadline gets stuck at zero and elapsed time keeps counting then your pools wallet is probably stuck but if that's not the case I would start looking into any possible issues with your rig. in that case if your stuck I would ask around on here for help I'm sure someone in the know will help out

Am i the only one who feels the need to thank adam guerbuez for his spam attacks on the network? Alright maybe it is or isn't him who's doing it but .As far as i can see when he did it last year it caused disaster the chain was forked beyond recognition, no wallets could sync properly and all the pools were down.
But since then the devs have obviously been working hard to iron out the flaws amd it shows. In the latest attacks the network has for the most part held it's self together and sure it appears that there are still improvements to be made but clearly that's happening, just last week there was a new wallet update in response to the attack. And the dymaxion has yet to be finished. Personally i think these attacks maybe showing some weaknesses in the coin but they are weaknesses that are being fixed. As a minner it frustrates me when this happens but as an investor and a coin holder i welcome these attacks as it only makes the coin stronger. And i think that the fact that the network is well tested future proofs it.

@haitch thanks mines alright for now just seems to be lagging behind by a block or two.
was mainly just wondering what was going on since I haven't seen the network look like this for quite some time.
obviously there are some immature people out there with nothing better to do hopefully it returns to normal soon

does anyone know if there are network problems at the moment. according to https://explore.burst.cryptoguru.org/tool/observe there seems to be a lot of out of sync peers.
also I've noticed my wallet is running slow and there seems to be a lot of fast blocks
